Alright so I'm not going to throw a bunch of numbers at you or get super technical, just going to share what I've had success with so far.
My Feats
I figure that what you see here is what everyone is typically running...if you see something different and want to know my reasoning behind it feel free to ask.
Encounters
Sun Burst
Astral Shield
Forgemaster's Flame
At Wills
Brand of the Sun
Astral Seal
Daily
Divine Armor
Hallowed Ground
Class Feature
Healers Lore
Holy Fervor (I like action points)
If you want to know anything more than this basic stuff then just ask!

And there's like, nothing else worth putting points into besides it lol.
It makes me sad how few good builds there are.
I mean, look at your set up, sunburst/AS are pretty much mandatory, almost always Seal/Brand combo. Same feats.
Urgh, not criticizing you, I run the exact same thing, I just wish we actually had more customization.
I kinda feel like a bad now. I think my initial read of the skill was not thorough enough and I just over looked it.
I haven't done any math on it really. I just had a feeling that Deepstone was better because it affects every skill you use, not just astral+sunburst(if you use it). I felt all the ticks from astral shield/seal + hallowed ground + forgemaster would easily add up being more.
Thoughts?
Could be wrong but I believe most people are running brand of the sun for their at will. You can literally dot up every mob and tick dmg off to build up your divinity. More divine power = more power spells.
Second, what do you use DP for except astral + occasional forgemaster? I have no trouble getting up my DP for just those two. Scattering stuff with sunburst doesn't seem very smart in most cases.
But that is just me, maybe I'm not skilled enough.
Using it non-D'd, though, it's pretty good at generating DP, AP and dispensing AOE heals and damage without also ruining your CW's nicely controlled monster clump.
BotS appeals because it's literally a "quick, snap one off" type attack that then will continue to damage while you resume running in circles. Sacred flame requires you to stand still for far too long, and even astral seal is risky.
Sacred Flame doesn't lock you down any longer than Brand.
And brand only gives 20% divinity total per cast (and takes 10 seconds to get it), AS and SF give 15% per hit.
Also you can jump cast to gain some mobility, I do that to offset Seals's animation a bit.
Also Deepstone Blessing would be ok, if you didn't have to give up the other 5% heal feat for it.
The 5% heal feat is just too good to pass up, it doesn't require divinity mode at all like what it says, it just procs off nearly every heal. And it actually stacks 2 times in some cases depending on the heals that proc it you use, I know forgemaster and seal together stack 2 together.
Seriously? Mouse over, click mouse, mouse over, click mouse. Rinse repeat. Not really sure if your trolling me or being serious right now..
I use divine power to heal people with Soothing Light.
I don't drop the % heal feat. This is what my build looks like, and I'm glad if I can get som pointers and tips. The only thing I would change now is to change the points from healing action to toughness, the AP gain is huge anyways.
I really understand where your coming from with wanting to make the "additional hitpoint" build to work but it's just not as good as the other points in the Faithful tree. You really NEED to be putting points into Invigorating Healing.
Does anyone know if you can get up to 11% increased defense if you are using "Foresight" and put points into "Benefit of Foresight"??
Yeah they're multiplicative, like 2 seperate DR sources, a buff of 6% and a buff of 5%.
Are you serious? I dont do anything BUT that as soon as I drop AS.
Same here. Gotta get them dmg ticks rolling for all that phat divine powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
From what I can tell Soothing Light should not be your main use of Divine Power. I usually ignore people who use bold letters but someone responded to your post so I took the bait.
Bold print is easier on my eyes friend. So your saying I shouldn't be using a skill that heals people for thousands???
